Banana Split Pop (GF, DF Option)

Yield: 6 three-ounce size pops

Banana Split Pop (GF, DF Option)

Ingredients

    Layer One: Strawberry Topping
  • 5 fresh ripe organic strawberries
  • 2 tbsp 100% pure organic apple juice
  • 1 tsp raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • Layer Two: Banana Cream Center
  • 12 one-inch thick slices of fresh ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup, plus 1 tbsp organic plain whole milk yogurt (or coconut cream)
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Layer Three: Pineapple Delight Base
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 3 tbsp 100% pure pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp raw honey (or pure maple syrup)

Instructions

    Layer One: Strawberry Topping
  1. Remove stems from strawberries and cut in half. Place the strawberries, apple juice and honey into your blender or VitaMix and blend until thoroughly combined. Pour an even amount of the "strawberry topping" into six 3-ounce pop molds. Place in freezer until frozen. Then, once frozen, you're ready to make your next layer "banana cream center."
  2. Layer Two: Banana Cream Center
  3. Place all ingredients into your blender or VitaMix and blend until thoroughly combined. Then, remove your pop molds from the freezer (making sure that the first layer is completely frozen). Pour an even amount of the "banana cream center" into the pop molds, making sure to leave at least an 2 -1/2 inches of space from the top of the mold for the final layer to be added. Cover each individual pop mold with a small piece of foil. Use a knife to make a slit in the center of the foil and carefully place a popsicle stick into the mold in the center of the pop. Place in freezer until frozen. Then, once frozen, you're ready to make your final layer "pineapple delight base."
  4. Layer Three: Pineapple Delight Base
  5. Place all ingredients into your blender or VitaMix and blend until thoroughly combined. Then, remove your pop molds from the freezer (making sure that the first two layers are completely frozen). Remove the foil covers from the pop mold and pour an even amount of the "pineapple delight base" layer into the pop molds, making sure to leave at least a half-inch of space at top for expansion that occurs during freezing. No need to recover the pops. Place in freezer until frozen. When ready to serve, run the pop mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen before removing the mold. Enjoy! You've worked hard for this healthy treat!

    Oh I can imagine this as a fun summertime frozen cake as well! Maybe in a springform type pan so you can see the layers. The kids spotted it on my computer and came running over to say, “That looks good!” So, you know, we’ll be trying it for sure 🙂

    I made real banana splits using no-dye sprinkles, organic strawberries, banana, and Alden’s Organic vanilla-bean Icecream and my kids loved them. This is instead of free Rita’s water-ice yesterday. So today I see this recipe because I looked up banana split again to see different pictures and have the ingredients to make these. Thanks!
